Comic Discussion > ALICE GROVE
Alice Grove MCDLT - September 2016
JimC:
I do like the way we have Alice and henchman watching each other out of the corner of their eyes in the background.

Whole lot about Jasper Pate today!
* He's a local king/warlord of a coastal city-state.
* He is very into old-timey technology because: it increases his POWER. He says so.
* He's a politician first, a warlord second. He prefers to seem harmless and friendly when it suits his purposes.
* He knows all about Alice, but hasn't bothered talking to her. He knows how long she's been around and what she knows. He also presumably knows how capable she is, and isn't worried. He's probably secure that his security guy can beat her. Alice probably knows something of him, too, but she might not.
My predictions:
He probably doesn't know about Ardent's nano-virus or Alice's plans. But Ardent will blurt it out shortly.
If he finds out about Ardent's nano-virus, he will want Ardent for sure, and won't give a flying f*ck about Alice's paranoia.
The friendly demeanor will disappear the instant he decides to take Ardent with him and is opposed.
Storel:
"Ha ha! Listen to me! So grandiloquent!"
And so rehearsed. He's trying way too hard to seem like a nice, friendly guy, which means he's almost certainly neither.
Not sure why Alice wants to disable his carriage, though. Wouldn't it make more sense to steal it? They could get away much faster then.
Kugai:
The velvet glove hiding the Titanium fist.
Still not sure I would trust this guys motivations entirely.

She may not want to let Ardent near the carriage.
